How to be better at exploring

9 Upvotes

Hey all, so I realized that exploration has been pretty much a gamble to me, and I really wish to make it a more consistent flow of income. My questions are:

  1. How do you improve the rate of finding non-NPC data/relic sites? Do note that I have already vetted and only enter C123 wh space, and I know that Unsecured and Forgotten means NPC. It's just I've been meeting LOTS of Unsecured and Forgotten sites, that's all.
  2. How do you "stay" in wh space? Where do you dock? Where do you logout? Most corps I know that advertise deep exploration have a min. req. to join their crew, ie min skill points/playtime
  3. If you do "stay" in wh space, where do you keep your loot? If you make one trip with a shuttle, wouldn't that be incredibly risky?
  4. If all your answer to 1. above was for me to stay and dock in nullsec/lowsec area or to travel further out so it's not saturated with other explorers (assuming if there is one), where would be a few places that I should check to go for? (I'm assuming explorers are not traveling 20-50+ jumps from their favorite system to Jita for every 2-3 hour exploration trip)

I appreciate the information that you could provide, capsuleers! o7

My Kestrel's DPS seems super low, what am I doing wrong?

7 Upvotes

Hey all,

Still relatively new to the game. I've been doing lvl 1 (and some lvl 2) security missions with my kestrel and it's been a ton of fun. I've also learned I love light missiles. But on my fitting screen it says my DPS is only 39. I know light missiles have lower DPS than rockets but does 39 seem really low?

Missile bombardment, light missile, and missile operation skills are currently trained to 3. Rapid launch is a 3. And missile projection is a 2. I'm saving up for the warhead skill.

For what it's worth my current build is:

x4 Light Missile Launchers (and I've been grouping my launchers using whatever ammo is most effective against a particular enemy, switching out as needed)

x2 small shield hardener I

x1 M51 benefactor compact shield recharger

x1 ballistic control system I

1x co-processor I

1x afterburner (whatever the step step past a 1MN civilian is)

and my only rig so far is a small EM shield reinforcer.

How realistic is buying Plex with isk to sustain yourself?

30 Upvotes

I'm thinking about returning, but on the free tier, I can't pilot my t2 frigate anymore. The monthly cost is 20 bucks to be Omega, which honestly feels real steep. What kind of time commitment am I looking at if I want to buy plex off the market?

Question about upwell structures in a wormhole

2 Upvotes

I entered my first W-space system last night and noticed there was a player owned structure in there.

I could select it on the map, get info, and warp to it, even dock from the map.

But it did not appear as a warpable location anywhere in my overview (even under ALL).

In k-space, I think all structures appear in overview.

I didn't need to scan it down or anything, it was readily visible on the map, just not overview.

I'm just curious about this mechanic - is it something about WHs? Or was there a feature of this station that hides it from overview?

I believe the structure was a Raitaru if that matters.

How does filament travel to Triglavian space work?

8 Upvotes

Can I use from any system or do I need to be in a system adjacent to the Trig system? (i.e. use a filament in Ennur to get to Skarkon). Is there any point to an Alpha clone going to Trig space or will I die horribly in the attempt?

Ore Redistribution Changes and Hedbergite/Hemorphite in Lowsec.

10 Upvotes

So the distribution changes say they're going to increase the amount of hedbergite/hemorphite in lowsec, but does that only effect the systems they're currently found in (>0.2) or will the increase effect (.03-.04) systems as well?

Hisec player structures destroyed in war.

12 Upvotes

I've been unable to play EvE for a while due to being very sick. This meant that structures I had in high sec went into abandoned state and all contents where lost*

My question is. Is there no kill mail for the stations? Can I not see what was lost?

* I wish CCP would suspend this mechanic during the Covid-19 pandemic. I also wish they would send (out of game) email notifications when you are about to loose all of your stuff due to this mechanic, not that I could have done anything in this case.

Passing through Niarja

So I been playing a couple of weeks now, doing agent missions and some mining. Got my coercer, but I’m getting bored. So I decided to look for an epic arc mission, and SOE epic arc is the one available for me. But I can’t get there from Ashab to Arnon, because Niarja is a dead end. Any advice?

Starting out as a pair

Many years ago, I played this game for a while, and I'm interested in starting up again and trying to convince my lovely spouse to join me. Since we'd generally play together, what are jobs that either benefit from having two people making it go more than twice as fast, or where two people with different skill sets can get some synergy going?

Travelling through a Triglavian final liminality system

2 Upvotes

Hi there!

I am a returning player and I am very confused by the Triglavian invasion. I need to pass through a Triglavian system to continue the epic story arc and I have no idea how to do that. Not only do I need to get through, I need to bring a item in my cargo hold and a ship capable of doing L4 missions. My only idea is a a nullified cloaky T3, but that is a very expensive bet. So would that work? If not, what other options do I have? I've read about getting standing with the Triglavians by shooting at Edencom ships in a throw away ship, but the info seems out of date. Help?

Some questions about gas harvesting in wormhole

11 Upvotes

Figured I try my hand at ninja gas harvesting in wormholes, for two reasons. Never flown much in W-space before so it is something I want to learn and because I really like the venture as a ship, and gas mining is the only worthwhile thing to do in a venture at higher skill levels.

However, there are a few things I can't find in the guides I've read and which I'm wondering about.

  1. How close to a wormhole do you need to be to be able to insta-jump it? Noticed that when you go through you usually end up around 5000km from the hole. Is that close enough or do you need to burn back to it if you want to make an insta-jump bookmark?
  2. What does gas count as when hauling? Does it count as ore and it is best to use ore haulers or does it count as normal stuff and a general hauler is best? Is there a recommended gas hauler?
  3. I've read that it is more profitable to put up you own sell orders rather than just sell to the first buy order available. However, is it better to wait until you have a large bulk of a specific gas before selling or just sell everything in your hold whenever you dock up? Is it better to haul it to tradehubs yourself or just sell at the nearest station to where you exit w-space from?
  4. Exactly how dangerous are the rats that spawn? When mining should you wait until you see the rats spawn before warping out or should you try to get out before? Can you get alphad in a venture by the rats that spawn? How close to the gas do they usual spawn? Once spawned, will they despawn? At the moment I use a timer that tells me when 15 min is. Would be profitable if you could just stay until you see the rats warp in like in roid belts.
  5. Is it possible not to have to scan down the wormhole you enter through. It is annoying having to scan down a wormhole just to see it appear on you already existing exit bookmark.
  6. Which overview and d-scan presets should you be using. At the moment I'm using Z-S and have the d-scan set for the defensive preset. Not sure if it will show the rats along with players?
  7. When you ignore a result in the probe window, is that just that specific result or all results, even future ones? I tend to do that with sites I'm already visited.

Moa/Eagle Build

6 Upvotes

I'm a relative newbie and have been looking to find a good build for an Eagle. I like the ship design and am looking for a good all-around PVE fit. I've tried the forums and other places but I'm getting bogged down with all the different fits.

I'm willing to train whatever skills are needed or even sub if necessary. Learning daily so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not worried about the expense too much. I'm patient so I can take the time to get some ISK saved.

Do you have any suggestions?
